How to add a CreateAction in the headerActions of resource A, to create a record in resource B?

After looking into this again, I thought that it was weird that the native CreateAction didn't work. So I tried to add this to the List page instead:

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
{
  return [
    CreateAction::make('userOrder')
      ->label('Create User Order')
      ->model(UserOrder::class)
      ->form(UserOrderResource::getFormSchema())
      ->fillForm([
          'user_id' => User::firstWhere(
            'email', 
            config('meinrad.assistant_email')
            )->id 
          ])
      ->mutateFormDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
        $mealType = MealType::find($data['meal_type_id']);
        $deliveryDate = Carbon::createFromFormat(
          'Y-m-d', 
          $data['delivery_date']
          );
        $orderDeadlineTime = Carbon::createFromFormat(
          'H:i:s', 
          $mealType->order_deadline
          );
        $deadline = $deliveryDate->setTime(
          $orderDeadlineTime->hour, 
          $orderDeadlineTime->minute, 
          $orderDeadlineTime->second
          );
        $data['deadline'] = $deadline->toDateTimeString();
        return $data;
      })
      ->after(function ($record) {
          $detailCreator = app(CreatesUserOrderDetails::class);
          $detailCreator->create($record);
          $groupOrderCreator = app(CreatesGroupOrders::class);
          $groupOrder = $groupOrderCreator->create($record);
          if ($groupOrder) {
              $updater = app(UpdatesGroupOrders::class);
              $updater->update($groupOrder, []);
          } 
      }),
  ];
}

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
{
  return [
    CreateAction::make('userOrder')
      ->label('Create User Order')
      ->model(UserOrder::class)
      ->form(UserOrderResource::getFormSchema())
      ->fillForm([
          'user_id' => User::firstWhere(
            'email', 
            config('meinrad.assistant_email')
            )->id 
          ])
      ->mutateFormDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
        $mealType = MealType::find($data['meal_type_id']);
        $deliveryDate = Carbon::createFromFormat(
          'Y-m-d', 
          $data['delivery_date']
          );
        $orderDeadlineTime = Carbon::createFromFormat(
          'H:i:s', 
          $mealType->order_deadline
          );
        $deadline = $deliveryDate->setTime(
          $orderDeadlineTime->hour, 
          $orderDeadlineTime->minute, 
          $orderDeadlineTime->second
          );
        $data['deadline'] = $deadline->toDateTimeString();
        return $data;
      })
      ->after(function ($record) {
          $detailCreator = app(CreatesUserOrderDetails::class);
          $detailCreator->create($record);
          $groupOrderCreator = app(CreatesGroupOrders::class);
          $groupOrder = $groupOrderCreator->create($record);
          if ($groupOrder) {
              $updater = app(UpdatesGroupOrders::class);
              $updater->update($groupOrder, []);
          } 
      }),
  ];
}

Which works, but I have to add mutateFormDataUsing and after logic, as this is not inherited from the UserOrderResource Create page. So this action would be added to the page header instead of the table header, which is also a con, but CreateAction() just doesn't work from a tables headerActions([]) for some good reason probably. @ChesterS Maybe useful for you as well?
